Sir
Christopher Hum, former UK Ambassador to China, at Downlands Community SchoolTalk Topics: Government & Politics, Cultures & History
Talk Themes: Industry Workings, Life Lessons
http://www.speakers4schools.org/case-studies/sir-christopher-hum-former-uk-ambassador-to-china-at-downlands-community-school/Slide17
Sir Christopher Hum, former ambassador to the People’s Republic of China, spoke to two groups of students at Downlands Community School about his work as a diplomat in Hong Kong, Beijing, Brussels, Paris, Warsaw and New York as well as his love of languages and his studies at Cambridge University.
The talks with students with Years 7-9 and Years 10-11 respectively in West Sussex ranged from tales of extraordinary events in Beijing and how the embassy supported UK nationals to Sir Christopher’s work promoting UK business interests in China. All of this served to give students a genuine picture of how countries interact and how embassies function, demystifying the work of the civil service, as well as real insights into China as a state.
Students were able to ask questions of the former Ambassador, some prepared ahead of time and some inspired by what he had spoken about. Sir Christopher commented afterwards that he’d especially enjoyed the ‘thoughtful’ questions posed by the younger students, which they’d prepared in advance.
This event at
Downlands
is a great example of a leading figure opening up the civil service to let students understand how the government really works, drawing on lessons from his own life.Slide18

First: plan the event & communicate to the speakers/performers exactly:
what you hope to achieve
suggested timings (think lesson plan) ---- even if the speakers/performers are very experienced. They do not know your students like you
do: all schools have different cultures
e.g. pupil
interests, levels of language, how receptive they are to
lectures/certain types of activitiesSlide22
Then: prepare the pupils for the event
Pupils need to buy into it so make them feel that they are a major stakeholder (which they should be, just one with very little influence!)Slide23

Go (围棋) as c
ross curricular project: Collaboration with
Maths/Computer Science department
Go is thought to date back to several thousand years ago in China.
Using black-and-white stones on a grid, players gain the upper hand by surrounding their opponents pieces with their own.
The rules are simpler than those of chess, but a player typically has a choice of 200 moves, compared with about 20 in chess -
there are more possible positions in Go than atoms in the universe, according to
DeepMind's
